APPLICATION FILED MAR. 8, 1913. V

Patented Jan. 18, 1916.

wrapper or covering '15 preferably `covers the edges of the disks'18 so that a very neat and compact package is secured.

For the purpos'eof protecting the -ends Vof the bandage roll'9 and, also, of preventing the roll rom` becoming accidentally unwound, I prefer to coat theends of the roll unrolled, but it does attach itself to any loose thread ends on the edges of the bandage and has a tendency to remove these thread ends from the bandage edges' as the roll is unwound.

It is believed that my invention will be fully understood from the foregoing without further description and it will be manifest that various modifications of the construction disclosed willsuggest themselves to those skilled in the art and that considerable modification may be resorted to within the purview of the following'claims without departing from the essence of the invention or sacrificing any of the material advantages thereof.
